This is the fourth “Courts for Kids” project to be completed from the proceeds of the third annual Peja’s Charitabowl held in December 2009. The mission of the Peja’s “Courts for Kids” project is to install new basketball courts, refurbish existing ones and distribute basketball equipment in economically disadvantaged areas around the world.

“This basketball court is the result of a team effort," Stojakovic said. "Without the individuals and businesses that supported this initiative, the St. Andrew’s renovation would not have been possible. Our goal is to provide New Orleans youth with a chance to learn respect, structure, and teamwork – all through the game of basketball – and to stay off the streets.”

Peja’s Charitabowl is an annual event that raises support and funding for the “Courts for Kids” initiative. The latest Peja’s Charitabowl was held Dec. 17 at the All-Star Lanes in Kenner.
